Years ago, after just a few weeks of study I was able to notice that there was never a "big bang". It is just difficult for some to admit that they were wrong, and so the big bang theory is stuck within conventional thought.

Is it so hard to imagine that there was no beginning? Must everything be anthropomorphized?

A couple of years ago, I read a paper by Roger Penrose laying out the case for a cyclical universe in which there is constant expansion and contraction. Which means after the universe is pretty much cold and dead after trillions of years, it collapses and expands again, recycling itself. It made for some pretty dry reading, but the concept is beautiful. :)

heh, but this still seems stuck with the idea that there is an expansion of space of some kind. I have found no observable evidence that shows space to expand. And so, my notion is that what we see is what has always been.

I was worried for a sec I wasn't going to be able to get some of that wonderful cheese, but alas it worked for me. It just takes a while for the "buy" button to pop up.

Oh, and let's not forget Áine Caoimhe who "taught" the Hypergrid to dance and gave OpenSim its own native, OSSL-based sit animation controller.

Nude Moon, where we dance naked under the new moon, is coming up on the 3rd Saturday. Fool Moon is the 1st Sat of each month.

The world exists because it is perfect harmony. And so, somewhere out there in opensim land an All Drama zone is forming all on its own, in response to your sim, and in there the puppet mime could be king.

Yes. Somewhere there is a sim based on the "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony" Coke commercial. And they have an ongoing event where this video is played over and over. Over and over. And over. :)

I must have been too busy to notice that a couple of months ago when the cold and winter had descended on your shire, for I would have liked to have seen that instead. I may have to wait another year before I can visit and witness the cold. I prefer the cold. Nonetheless I enjoyed being ignored by the town guards, it let me loot and ransack what I wanted. I didn't have anyone else with me, for I would have had better luck stealing the ship at the harbor. I made the mistake of trying to tackle it myself. I instead fell in between the edge of the ship and edge of the port, down into the deep. I am unable to fly, so I fell really far. I felt what others mean by Davy Jone's locker. This ended my attempts at pillaging the town.

I have four. I created one on SL long ago, maybe in 2009. I created a second avatar when I started up my own grid a few years ago. Then I created the third one on kitely to act as an outside avatar to help me debug my own grid. And finally, I recently created an avatar, also on my own grid, to test Corrade.

The first three all look about the same, and have the same first name, the last one is very different since I may not be in total control of it as some point in the future.

LOL. Why does it look like you are peeing on Priscilla.

If opensim had a bumper sticker, this should be it.

I had been accustomed to footsteps in VR, but I noticed that they were a bit lacking here.

How odd. It was just a few days ago I was working on something and I thought "this area needs some steampunk tools". lol.

I'll drop by later and pick some up.

Thanks for the tour of that large castle. It was really well furnished and full of unique items.

I found this incredible, a ride that lets you move about without needing to be attached to the item. ... I have been looking for such a script, to maybe adapt it to a vehicle, like a large airship. (it seems to work for up and down on this elevator, but can it also translate horizontally)

Thank you. ... I had read, long ago, a story that the Sphinx used to look like this before it was modified. Its just a story, but I also imagined the ancients preferred symmetry, and so I placed two.
